Marechal Snap-Calls Yang's Ill-Timed Bluff
Level 35
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Xiaohua Yang opened to 1,600,000 from under the gun and Frederic Marechal three-bet the small blind to 4,400,000. When it got back to Yang, he made the call.
Both players checked to the river on the K♣9♠7♣3♣3♦ runout where Marechal checked, Yang made a pot-sized bet, and Marechal snap-called.
Yang tabled Q♥J♠ for a bluff, and Marechal showed he made the right call with J♥J♦ for a pair of jacks.
